Fascinating articles, both yours and the one you referenced. I had no idea wind power had got so big. It gives me hope that we can in fact change our economies. Bush and his cohorts are banking on the opposite, thinking that if they control the oil, they will control the power. They are making my country look even worse politically, and given the predictions of the article, they are also running our economy into the ground in a way that won't be easily recuperated. Fortunately, the US can be self-sufficient, so it won't be the end of the world, but it will certainly change the lifestyle that people expect if we need to become self-sufficient again. (Meaning that we eat what we farm, instead of surviving on a trade/consumerist economy, as we do now.)

Say what you like about china, but i went to a xmas party last night in a chinese restaurant and a chinese band played green day and oasis songs. It was fucking amazing. I even manged to duet with the very funny lead singer on 'supersonic' which im surprised i knew the words to considering how pissed i was and the fact that i think oasis are TURGID PERFUNCTORY BEATLE OBSESSED BORES WITH THE SONGWRITING SKILLS OF A DEAD LAB MONKEY WITH PARKINSONS. Still I managed to fuck up my part-time job by sleeping with the annoying sex mad harridan in the kitchen. Whoops.
